One cause of floods can be forecast months in advance--snow. Sometimes the ground is too hard or too wet to soak up water. The only place the rain can go is downstream. Usually rainfall of more than one inch in one hour is needed to cause a flash flood. Sometimes a place can get hit by a flash flood even if it's sunny because it might be raining on higher ground somewhere. The floods in Poland this summer weren't flash floods. They were caused by heavy rainfall but the rain was spread out over days. So much rain fell that the rivers couldn't handle all the water.
